Flown Records co-owner Scippo delivers a pulsating 90-minute set…
Scippo hails from the windswept landscapes of Rio Gallegos, Patagonia, where his love for electronic music first took root. A move to Buenos Aires at 17 only deepened his obsession, and by 2019, his hypnotic, groove-heavy sound found a home on Sudbeat. This was followed by standout releases on Hope Recordings and The Soundgarden, alongside an inclusion on Nick Warren’s Balance presents The Soundgarden compilation.
Today, Scippo channels much of his energy into Flown Records, a label he co-owns and nurtured into a go-to imprint for underground heavyweights. It has cemented his place in the global dance music conversation.
In this Balance Selections mix, the producer straddles the line between house and techno, weaving a dynamic journey that blurs the boundaries between the two. Featuring tracks from Kabi (AR), Four Tet, Sam Shure, and more, this 90-minute set proves that progressive house can still pulse with hypnotic energy when it leans into its house-driven roots.

As a child, I was exposed to a wide range of music, and some of my earliest memories are deeply connected to various genres. My parents weren’t musicians, but they had a deep love for music, and we always had something playing loud at home. I grew up listening to a mix of genres like rock, pop, and electronic music, which later became a major influence on my own sound.
I remember spending hours listening to CDs, going through album after album, completely immersed in the sounds. Some of my biggest influences at the time were Soda Stereo, The Beatles, The Chemical Brothers, and Deadmau5, among others. Certain songs had a way of transporting me to different places, and that sense of wonder is something I still try to capture in my own productions today
I remember that my love for electronic music started at a very young age, listening to pop artists like Madonna, who gradually incorporated electronic elements into their music. From there, I started discovering many other artists in this style, and it completely expanded my mind in a way I had never experienced before.
I’m from a town in the far south of Argentina called Río Gallegos, where electronic music wasn’t really popular. I remember being the ‘weird kid’ at school who listened to this unusual music and shared it with my friends—eventually, they started liking it too. That’s why my love for electronic music developed over time, constantly evolving as I discovered new sounds.
I remember that as a kid, I started going to EDM parties to see DJs like David Guetta, Swedish House Mafia, Nervo and more. At first, it was exciting, but over time, I realized that this wasn’t really the music I was connecting with.
Everything changed when I moved to Buenos Aires and went to see Dubfire. That night was a turning point for me—I suddenly realized that there were other worlds within electronic music. His set completely shifted my perspective, and I knew I wanted to take a different path. A few months later, I discovered Guy J and went to see him at The Bow, that was the moment I knew exactly what kind of music I wanted to make.
There are so many artists who inspire me, and each one has had a unique impact on my journey. As I mentioned earlier, Guy J was crucial in shaping my sound. His ability to create deep, atmospheric music with such intricate detail is something I admire greatly.
Other artists like John Digweed, Sven Väth, Solomun, Hernán Cattáneo, and Dixon have also been huge influences, especially when it comes to their way of building a journey in their sets and the kind of tracks they play.
Apart from electronic music, I find inspiration in a wide variety of things—life experiences, nature, and even other art forms like film and visual art. Inspiration comes from all around, and I try to channel it into my own music to make something that resonates with others in a similar way 🙂
I’m also deeply influenced by artists outside the electronic scene like Radiohead, Massive Attack, Portishead, Catriel, Kendrick Lamar and much more. Their ability to blend genres and create powerful emotional experiences has a big impact on me.
I listen to music via Spotify, so I don’t have to buy CDs anymore, hahaha. I like to switch up the music I listen to, but I often go back to In Rainbows by Radiohead, good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar, and Blue Lines by Massive Attack.
In Rainbows was a gift from my cousin, and the others I discovered on my own. I often find myself digging for new music—that’s how I discovered electronic music and many other music that I might not have come across otherwise.
My studio setup is pretty simple. It consists of the Prophet 08 desktop by Dave Smith, a couple of pedals (Avalanche Run v2 and Eventide H9 Max), virtual instruments and effects, and a Shure SM58 microphone.
As for my DJ setup, I use CDJs and a mixer, like a classic DJ setup. In the future, I’m thinking about doing a live act, but that’s still just a plan for now. 🙂
This year, I have some exciting releases coming up, both on my own label and with other labels. Some of my tracks that I’ve been playing in my sets over the last two years will finally see the light of day.
Additionally, I have some collaborations with amazing producer friends that are absolute bombs, so stay tuned!
Since I’ve moved back to Buenos Aires after four years living in Barcelona, I’m currently touring across Argentina. I recently played for the first time in Jujuy (in the north of Argentina), and in the next few months, I’ll be playing in the central and southern parts of the country.
I’m always looking for new shows and tours—I’m actually planning my next tour in Mexico for later this year. I don’t have a residency at any club right now, but in the meantime, you can listen to my radio show Unreverse, which is available (almost monthly) on my SoundCloud channel.
This studio set is very special to me because I’ve been listening to Balance Series mixes since I first got into electronic music, and I’ve always wanted to be part of the label. Ever since my first appearance in 2019 on Nick Warren’s Balance presents The Soundgarden, I’ve had the feeling that one day it could happen—and now that moment has arrived.
So when Balance invited me to do a guest mix for Balance, I didn’t even think twice and immediately started working on it.
For this mix, I created 2 ambient tracks as an intro to set the mood, and throughout the set, there’s a lot of unreleased music from friends and myself, as well as some upcoming releases on Flown Records. The mix takes an experimental turn towards the end, closing with breakbeat and downtempo vibes at 109 BPM.
